Welcome

Welcome to the blog. This is the first post, and it exists mostly to prove that the content pipeline works end to end: frontmatter, headings, code, and prose all render the way they should.

What this blog is about

I write about software engineering, quantitative work, and whatever else I happen to be building. Posts aim to be practical and concise.

How it’s built

This site is built with Astro using the standard markdown pipeline. Code highlighting comes from Expressive Code, and math is rendered with KaTeX.

Here’s a tiny snippet of the kind of thing you might see:

1
function greet(name: string): string {
2
  return `Hello, ${name}!`
3
}
4

5
console.log(greet('world'))

You can also expect inline references like pnpm dev or a call to greet('reader') sprinkled throughout.

A few things I care about

• Clear writing over clever writing
• Small, composable pieces
• Reproducible examples you can actually run

The best way to learn something is to build it, break it, and then explain it to someone else.

Thanks for reading, and enjoy poking around.
